Sudan's military said Saturday it seized several key buildings in central Khartoum, including the central bank, from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, following its recapture of the presidential palace.

"Our forces achieved further success last night, eliminating hundreds of militia members who tried to escape through pockets in central Khartoum," army spokesman Nabil Abdallah said in a statement to AFP, listing the buildings recaptured, including the central bank.
